User Reviews

Great show

This was one of the shows Matthew Lawrence starred in prior to Brotherly Love and Boy Meets World. It also starred Tim Curry as the bad guy. This was an americanized version of an anime show, but it was live action. Please release it on DVD. I used to watch it after school (great time to be on), and I thought it was great. There were a bunch of high school students who would literally go into computers and a bad guy that would also go into computers and transform into robotic fighters. The good guys called themselves, the superhuman samurai syber-squad. The superhuman samurai syber-squad would fight the bad guy and others in the computer or "syber" world.
